Ed Sullivan Theater - Beatles' U.S. Television Debut

On February 9, 1964, The Beatles made their first live U.S. television performance on The Ed Sullivan Show, which was broadcast nationally from the Ed Sullivan Theater (then CBS Studio 50). Ed Sullivan was the show's host and a nationally known television personality who helped introduce many performers to American audiences. The theater remains associated with Sullivan and the landmark 1964 broadcast in histories of American television and popular music.
